Sie bilden die Basis vieler grundlegender Prozesse des Lebens. Ohne sie könnten weder Zellatmung noch Photosynthese stattfinden. Redoxreaktionen spielen aber auch für Anwendungen in der Chemie, Biochemie oder bei der Nutzung von Licht für die Energiegewinnung eine entscheidende Rolle. Ihre grund...

We are happy to welcome our new guest Giorgia de Maio. She is a master's degree student in industrial chemistry at university of Bari Aldo Moro. In 2024, during her internship in the group of Prof. Farinola in Bari, her work was focused on the synthesis of two push-pull diradicaloids. She joine...

Phillip Greißel und Dominik Thiel forschen an besonders effizienten Solarzellen Momentan verbrennen wir noch große Mengen fossiler Energieträger wie Erdöl oder Kohle, um unseren Energiehunger zu stillen. Dabei entsteht das Treibhausgas Kohlendioxid, das in der Atmosphäre wie eine wärmende Wolldecke...
